The genus is too big, I generally don’t attempt to get these to species. I can only say it’s similar to P. xerampelina. One of these days I’d like to make note of the distribution for all of them so it would at least be easier to quickly see what occurs where.
(Edited above, changed comparison species from P. milvina to P. xerampelina, looks like a possibility.)
I knew species was a long shot to ask with these guys. In Maine only P. moesta seems to be more abundant than P. xerampelina among Pardosa species, according to an informal list of documented IDs I have, so your guess seems astute.
